One morning my neighbor and I were setting on the porch with coffee after our morning run. Janis asked me candid what did I get out of all that running. She said, “If you could become a marathon businessman as much as you love to run you probably could be pretty good at it!” I said, “Businessman?”
I caught myself when I seen I was getting on my soapbox about the benefits of running. I knew she was right. I said anything in the marathon business world could be learned. What you can’t learn has to come from yourself. That is the will to succeed to accomplish, to not stop what ever the cost. Your burning desire, what it is you love to do.
I had been a distance runner since my late 30s. So that is, what I did do. Transform the road warrior passion into a home business.
Once I decided a marketing marathon business was my next mission; I set my sites to focus on the unstoppable! For once I knew I wanted to accomplish this; marathon business would allow me to work from home. Home is where your heart is at. From where your greatest works are accomplished. With the internet you can be anywhere in the world at any given moment, at your fingertips.
With a home business I could set my own course and work my own hours. Make any amount of money I wanted to. To do my core desire. To do what it is…I love. And, that is to run. That is why many runners run. You would probably have to be a runner to understand my paradigm. Just mold the marketing into a home business with a marathon mindset!
The marathon business, would give me the time, to practice my true deepest passion. 2001 Fort Worth Cow Town Marathon.
In today’s marathon business, it will take that marathon mind-set to win! You win by learning from failures. Sometimes your toes bleed, your side hurts and your legs feel like logs. Let’s do it. marathon business!
